Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Morozov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janusz Gawrolek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morozov's entrance music is Gucci Mane – Threw With That Shit . A fine choice. Gawrolek has chosen Maciaz - Heroes of Our Times as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the ring it seems that Fedor Morozov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Fedor Morozov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
